Lesson Worksheet: Volume of Sound Science

In this worksheet, we will practice describing the link between the strength of vibrations and the volume of a sound.

Q1:

Select the statement that shows the link between the strength of vibrations and the volume of sound.

  • AThe weaker the vibrations, the louder the sound.
  • BThe weaker the vibrations, the quieter the sound.
  • CThe stronger the vibrations, the quieter the sound.

Q2:

Fill in the blank: Strong vibrations have energy than weaker vibrations, so they make louder sounds.

  • AThey decrease.
  • BThey increase.
  • CThey stay the same.

Q6:

David, Jennifer, and Liam investigate how the distance from the source of a sound affects the volume. Jennifer will ring a bell. David will walk 150 m away from Jennifer. Every 50 m, he will record the volume of the sound.

Here are their predictions:

Here are their results:
